Dead Good Poets

Poetry in Aberdeen at Books and Beans

Since 2003, Dead Good Poets have been presenting monthly poetry nights
at Books and Beans, Aberdeen's popular café-bookshop. These
events usually take place on the last Thursday of the month, with extra events for
Wordfringe in May, and occasional variations in December to avoid
the holidays.

The format varies from month to month. Usually one or more guest poet will be featured,
often launching a new book. Sometimes there are also singers or musicians, and the
evening normally includes time set aside for open mic slots. Bring your own latest
poetry to try out on a friendly audience, or just come to listen.

The event starts promptly at 6.30pm. Come along in plenty of time to be sure of
getting a good seat, buy some food or a coffee, and settle down for an entertaining
and stimulating evening in the company of some of the finest poets around.

Dead Good Poets have produced There's a Poem in My Soup
and There's a Bairn in My Broth, two books of poetry, recipes and
drawings. Both are published by Koo Press and available from Books
and Beans. Every penny raised from sales of these books will go to CHILDREN 1ST.
